Shabbat shalom kol beit Yisra'el!

Welcome to this sabbath assembly, brethren and sisters, for what I hope will be a blessed prophetic time together. We are on the 23rd day of Teshuvah or Season of Repentance, that lasts 40 days until the Day of Judgment or Atonement, Yom Kippur. Although this is only a tradition that comes from Judaism, it does accord with divine tavnith or pattern. Repentance is a key principle of the Besorah (Gospel) requiring an investment of time and effort to wrestle with our sins until we have overcome them in Messiah, and we need to be remineded that when we rebell, we can expect a period of wandering until we have 'got it right' - in the case of Israel, 40 years in Sinai. Yah'shua (Jesus), you willr ecall, was tempted for 40 days in the Judea wilderness to test that His flesh was fully subjugated before His ministry could began. The spiritual landscaping what we were talking about yesterday, and about which I want to say more today, is a part of our repentance or making teshuvah.

I have a message for you from Yahweh this morning and it is quite involved so I ask your silent prayers as I try to explain all of this as simply as I can. As you know, we have been tracking a UFO here now for about three months and making observations of it, wanting to better understand what it is. Yahweh has been revealing what it is line upon line. We have good still photographs and movies of it now which you can see in the article that covers this siting.

What, you may ask, has this got to do with the Good News of the Kingdom? Well, as I told you yesterday, a convergence of two irreconcilably opposite invisible worlds is taking place here on earth and becoming visible. And what we are seeing in our night skies are examples of this convergence of spirit dimensions, the one good and the other evil. This is, as I have mentioned many times before, the assembly for a series of final battles in the invisible that will have, and already are having, a profound impact on us in the physical dimension too. And we, as warriors of Yahweh, are to engage in spiritual warfare to make sure that we allow the enemy no open doors to our souls by conquering the Adamic or carnal nature within us, that scripture calls "the flesh". This requires a complete re-landscaping of our souls through trusting in Yah'shua (Jesus) completely and obeying His mitzvot (commandments).

To be a successful military commander you need to know your enemy, which is why armies have intelligence-gathering units. Spies are sent out to collect information on what the enemy is doing. Satan, because he is blind to what Yahweh is up to for the most part (save some scriptures and the published revelations given to His servants), must have his spies. His chief spies are legions - literally billions - of demonic entities, who access us - humans - when we give them open doors because of our breaking of Yahweh's cosmic mitzvot (commandments). It doesn't matter whether you are a believer or not because every living thing is actually bound to Yahweh's Torah (Law), just as we are bound to the physical laws of gravity, Newtonian mechanics, and so on. The advantage of the believer - apart from having the assurance of eternal life, the shalom (peace) that comes from forgiven sin, the energisation that comes from having the presence of the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit), and daily guidance when he walks true, is a spiritual covering or sukkah (tent) that gives him protection from the darts of the enemy that also renders the enemy blind to what is happening inside his spiritual universe. The enemy can only guess what we are up to by observing our actions from the outside. When a talmid (disciple) is walking true, He is like a fuzzy cloud to the demonic realm, and when He is walking deep in divine tavnith (pattern), he is like a blinding light that causes the enemy to retreat far away and observe at a distance. Thus, so long as we are IN Messiah, clinging tightly to Him in emunah (faith), the enemy can do little in the way of real damage. As we shall see in a moment, he may be able to buffet and cause discomfort but he can by no means destroy us.

Everything Satan does is an imitation of Yahweh, because what Yahweh does is perfect and flawless. Though Satan's imitation is always a cheap one, the general tavnith (pattern) is always discernable, so if you know how our Heavenly Father works, it is not hard to figure out how the enemy does - it's just the diametric opposite, with a few variations here and there caused by flaws in the enemy's mind as well as deliberate attempts to mislead.

Yahweh watches us all the time both from the inside and from the outside. He is truly omnipresent - present everywhere. His presence is described in these terms as revealed to the apostle John:

"And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns (perfect Lamb-submitted power) and seven eyes (perfect Lamb-submitted vision), which are the seven Ruachim (Spirits) of Elohim (God) sent out into all the earth" (Rev.5:6, NKJV; cp. Zech.3:9).

Satan is not remotely perfect - he is the author of the complete opposite - destruction, chaos and anarchy. And yet there is a demonic heirarchy and order of sorts that only seves him but also wars against it self, just as fallen human beings do. Satan has his equivalent of "seven eyes" and "seven Ruachim" and "seven horns" (his seven consorts that include Lilith and Hecate), but because his troops are more like pirates and buccaneers than the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit), they need vast numbers to do the word of the perfect 7. Satan's number os 6 and multiples thereof - vast numbers, in fact.

This particular kind of 'UFO' that we have been observing is an eye of Lucifer, along with all the other things that they are that I have already discoursed on. This was shown to me this morning, not because of the recent pictures that I took (though my wife pointed out to me that it looked a bit like an eye), but because of a vision I was shown this morning.

But first I need to backtrack to last Friday when I was making my last UFO observation and took photographs, and something I did that was wrong. I got too interested in the phenomenon. I was curious to discover more in my own strength. And you all know the saying - 'curiosity killed the cat'. After the photographic session (which didn't last long as I was in my night clothes and it was cold) I went back to bed and began thinking on what I had seen, and started imagining what these objects looked like inside. I let my fantasy get the better of me and imagined one landing in the garden and going and having a look inside. I don't know what I was thinking because it was ridiculous - you know how the mind carelessly wanders when our thoughts are not properly made 'captive to Messiah', for I was thinking in terms of conventional flying saucers. But then I heard a voice in my head say: "Welcome the UFO for all [your family]"! I instantly realised that I had opened a psychic door because of my silly fantasy and the enemy was asking permission to come through the protective perimiter of our home and into the secred space dedicated to Yahweh and covered by the blood of Messiah. Needless-to-say, I repended instantly as I realised how I had almost invited the enemy right into our very midst. Needless to say, I do not believe that the UFO itself would have come and landed, though it is possible it would have come nearer, I don't know. If it is an eye of the enemy, as I believe it is, along with many other things, then it would have been a demonic invitation. Remember, the enemy cannot draw close to you without your permission, whether it be verbal permission reflecting the acquiescence of your mind, or whether it be through the breaking of a mitzvah (commandment).

At the same time I was having my foolish daydream, half way across the world, another member of my family suddenly woke up from sleep and saw a manifestation above the bed. This 'thing' began to appear - like almost an undulating blob of a kind of pink, with flecks of green - and began moving towards her. She started screaming and the manifestation disappeared as suddenly as it had come, presumably at the moment I made teshuvah and closed the hole in my covering over her and the rest of my family caused by my taking my eyes off Yah'shua (Jesus) and committing the cardinal sin we warn against in deliverance ministry - going into the unknown, that is, speculating about things that requires letting go of emunah (faith). So, you men - you husbands, fathers and ministers in particular - you must take the spiritual covering of your family most seriously! I have experienced this kind of thing before so I understand how it works. If you will recall what I said in our evening assembly yesterday, we read the proverb which says:

"Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you" (Prov.4:25, NKJV).

Now I want to fast-forward to this morning and to the revelation Yahweh gave me about this UFO that sits in our night sky say after day just as similar objects do around the world. As I woke up this morning I saw a vision of this same family member's face and in particular her eyes. What I saw was a symbolic representation of spiritual activity, for from her eyes I saw concentric waves eminating, like the ripples caused by a pebble dropped into a still pool. Moreover, the two eyes were sending out different ripples so that when they met, they interfered with one another. In one eye there was emunah (faith) but in the other, fear, resulting in confusion and panic.

At this point I immediately understood that these objects in the night sky were spiritual 'eyes', perhaps with some sort of physical presence, but - I am guessing - primarily made up of energy - the seething fire of Lucifer. Just look at the colours of these objects in the movie I shot (last video in Update #3) as they pulse and how 'dirty' some of the colour are, especially the red. Anyway, a bit later this morning I realised that what I was seeing in the eyes in that vision was a discordance caused by the frightening experience she had had caused by this pink blob appearing over the bed. You all know what it is to panic - when we panic, we 'lose it', our defences crumble, and we become vulnerable. The discordant waves coming out of her eyes showed the disparity between one eye of emunah (faith) and one where emunah (faith) was disturbed.

And now I want to come to the specific message I have for all of you today that concerns not so much UFO's what the enemy is doing in our skies, but ways in which he tries to destabilise us, to get our eyes off Yah'shua (Jesus), create confusion, and lead us down dark paths of speculation and wild imagination.

All of us who are clinging onto Yah'shua (Jesus) are on the front line of the spiritual battle that is raging. Those who are not clinging so tight tend to be on the second lines farther back, hoping that the ones in front will make up for their lack in emunah (faith). Yah'shua (Jesus) recognises only one line - the front line - and that's where we are called, to strengthen it hand-in-hand with our brethren. All those who are in the front line are under attack - constantly, which is one of the reasons many fall behind and expect to be 'taken care of' by 'stronger' believers. True, husbands and fathers have as a primary duty the covering of their wives and children, but this does not mean that the latter in their turn should not be battling the flesh and overcoming themselves. We each have our individual responsibilities and we each have collective responsibilities, according to the rôles assigned to us by the Father.

The attacks vary in intensity depending what we are doing or not doing. And the moment we are doing something significant for the Kingdom of Yahweh, the enemy comes at you head-on violently, escalating his otherwise regular lower-key assaults. At this moment you should not cave in but take this as a good sign, for it means that Yahweh wants to do a marvelous work and wonder through you if you will stand firm and obey in emunah (faith). Even Yah'shua (Jesus), when He was in the flesh, came under such attacks, did He not, especially just before He carried out an important miracle which in turn weakened Satan's Kingdom.

Do you remember the incident of the casting out of legions of demons from a possessed man at Gadara, and how Yah'shua (Jesus), at their request, put the demons into the pigs that were being sold as unkosher meat to those Gentiles and lapsed Judahites living in the land (Mk.4:35-41)? This healing of the demoniac was a big set-back for Satan in that region, for everylone lived in fear of this untamable wild man. But can anyone remember the incident immediately before this great healing work of the Master in which the Master and His talmidim (disciples) came under violent physical attack that threarened to kill them?

I am speaking of the incident that took place on the Sea of Galilee as the Master and His talmidim (disciples) crossed over toward Gadara one evening. The journey had started out in complete shalom (peace). The water was calm and doubtless the moon was shining to light their way. And you will remember Yah'shua (Jesus) took a nap. And then violent and destructive winds arose threatening to capsize the boat and drown everyone on board. All through it Yah'shua (Jesus) slept unworried until His terrified talmidim (disciples) woke Him up.

Now the thing about this storm was not that it built up gradually, because it didn't. The text says that it arose very suddenly and unexpectedly, catching the occupants off-guard, just as the suddenness and ferocity of Satan's attacks on us often take us by surprise. The talmidim (disciples) panicked and assumed the worst. Their emunah (faith) gave way - they believed they would drown in the billowing waves.

Remember, though, that Satan is simply imitating what Yahweh does IN REVERSE. Just as the enemy descends on us suddenly and with ferocity, so Yahweh rescues those who cling on to Him when they least expect it and just as dramatically, if not more so. When we who come under attack cry out, Yah'shua (Jesus), who is within us by our trusting and continuing obedience, metaphorically 'awakes' (we think He isn't awake and so we panic, crying out to Him to 'wake up' and 'help!') and with a few words turnns the raging swell into total calmness. "Peace, be still!" (Mk.4:39). What began as a perfect night for sailing (and yes, it was dark, making it even more scary when the moon was no longer visible and everything was pitch black), turned into a nightmare in near total darkness! This was not a light squall, mind you, but a "great storm".

Yahweh permits such 'storms' to come upon us to learn that Yah'shua (Jesus) is the Master over everything and so enable us to grow in our emunah (faith), re-landscaping our soul as we grow to more and more resemble His. This means that we must always be in a state of mental preparedness for demonic attacks by putting on the "whole armour of Elohim (God)" (Eph.6:11,13, NKJV) and take authority over the wind and waves of Satan that ares ent against us and our families, and all in the Name of Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) whom we trust and obey with our whole beings, making sure that we are properly covered with no doors left open because of sin and disobediebce. So make sure you not only know your Torah but thay you believe and apply it in the tavnith (pattern) of your daily living to the best of your ability.

Recall that the "great storm" was followed by a "great calm". Yahweh always completely matches with blessings what the enemy throws at us. These 'storms' can be anything: financial, domestic, illness, or any other kind of trouble. Didn't Yahweh do that for Job, and more? And that was in this life! There are also promises of compensation in the next life too:

"Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time -- houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions -- and in the age to come, eternal life" (Mark 10:29-30, NKJV).

"What an interesting article....I have the same beliefs....never heard of the seven eyes though...I will read this again, I just woke up & this caught my attention..didn't want to say eye lol" (WH, USA, 20 September 2011).

"Your family is not the only one into which UFOs have tried to gain access - they tried the same thing with us about 2 weeks ago. But they were immediately recognised for what they were and sent away. It is my understanding that this phenomenon is very dangerous - especially to those who do not know what is going on. Thank you for educating us!" (RR, South Africa, 20 September 2011).

"I had on experience once while being curious watching a paranormal show on t.v about aliens and the nephillim connection....these ppl just thought they were aliens but it seemed so demonic to me...I was watching and was overwhelmed with fear and was just paralyzed with it, I'm never like that I always no how to battle in spiritual warfare...but this time was different...I was sitting on my Couch and then something kicked my couch so hard ..and yet I still sat there unable to speak...the Lord told me to change that channel I was opening doors but I didn't listen it was just so interesting to hear...then I got up and begun to PRAY. And I did pray! NO problem after that..." (WH, USA, 20 September 2011)
